2 Johannes 1
1 Den Ældste til den udvalgte Frue og hendes Børn, som jeg elsker i Sandhed, og ikke jeg alene, men ogsaa alle, som have erkendt Sandheden,
The elder to the chosen lady and her children, whom I love in truth, and not only I, but also all those who know the truth,
because of the truth that abides in us, and will be with us into the age. (aiōn g165)
3 Naade, Barmhjertighed og Fred være med os fra Gud Fader og fra Jesus Kristus, Faderens Søn, i Sandhed og Kærlighed!
Grace, mercy, peace will be with us from God the Father, and from the Lord Jesus Christ, the Son of the Father, in truth and love.
4 Jeg har glædet mig meget over, at jeg har fundet Børn af dig, som vandre i Sandhed, efter det Bud, vi fik af Faderen.
I rejoice exceedingly that I have found of thy children walking in truth, just as we received commandment from the Father.
5 Og nu beder jeg dig, Frue! ikke som om jeg skrev til dig et nyt Bud, men det, som vi havde fra Begyndelsen, at vi skulle elske hverandre.
And now I beseech thee, lady, not as writing a new commandment to thee, but what we had from the beginning, that we would love each other.
6 Og dette er Kærligheden, at vi vandre efter hans Bud. Dette er Budet, saaledes som I have hørt fra Begyndelsen, at I skulle vandre deri.
And this is love, that we should walk according to his commandments. This is the commandment, just as ye heard from the beginning, that ye should walk in it.
7 Thi mange Forførere ere udgaaede i Verden, som ikke bekende Jesus som Kristus kommen i Kød. En saadan er Forføreren og Antikrist.
Because many deceivers have gone forth into the world, those not acknowledging Jesus Christ coming in flesh. This is the deceiver and the antichrist.
8 Giver Agt paa eder selv, at I ikke skulle tabe, hvad vi have arbejdet, men at I maa faa fuld Løn.
Watch yourselves, so that we may not lose what we have wrought, but may receive a full reward.
9 Hver den, som viger ud og ikke bliver i Kristi Lære, har ikke Gud. Den, som bliver i Læren, han har baade Faderen og Sønnen.
Every man transgressing, and not abiding in the doctrine of the Christ, does not have God. The man abiding in the doctrine of the Christ, this man has both the Father and the Son.
10 Dersom nogen kommer til eder og ikke fører denne Lære, ham skulle I ikke tage til Huse og ikke byde velkommen.
If any man comes to you, and does not bring this doctrine, do not receive him into a house, and do not speak to him to rejoice.
11 Thi den, som byder ham velkommen, bliver delagtig i hans onde Gerninger.
For he who speaks to him to rejoice, partakes of his evil works.
12 Endskønt jeg havde meget at skrive til eder, har jeg ikke villet det med Papir og Blæk; men jeg haaber at komme til eder og tale mundtligt med eder, for at vor Glæde maa være fuldkommen.
Having many things, I did not want to write to you by paper and ink, but I hope to come to you, and to speak mouth to mouth, so that our joy may be filled.
13 Din Søsters, den udvalgtes, Børn hilse dig.
The children of thy chosen sister salute thee. Truly.
